  1. Hope to they have better luck than A&W which has had to close up Thier operations in Thailand. Hope so. Nice to have variety for people. You get tired of sinewy chicken and leathery steaks.
  2. "Thailand Sees More Visitors, Higher Exports". Thailand's politicians see many things. They need glasses.
  3. We have the same and its the residential rate. Nice bill for April. Hottest month of the year. Ours was a little over 5,000 and we were away for 10 days on holiday. Air-conditioning struggles with the intense heat and humidity!
  4. Still ridiculously expensive especially for Thais to have a descent holiday in Chiang Mai. Many realize money spent on food and drinks at home is a better proposition. For many Thais, visiting Chiang Mai is a "I've been there already" and prefer a place where theres reasonably priced food and accomodations.
  5. OMG. RIP little guy. That would literally devastate our family if one of our little ones got killed. Speed bumps through these little villages would go a long way to help slow these idiot drivers.
  6. That's about it. At the moment if you went wandering around without a mask in many places in the North East you'll be told to put one on. You'll definitely get the evil eye. Probably in Bangkok you might get punched if you don't despite the loosening up of the laws.
  7. Definitely needs to be renovated. I'm sure they'll be crowds again, someday.
  8. Definitely going to make an already separated country more so.
  9. Besides Mango Sticky, which is seasonal, the rest suck.
  10. Seems everyone has gotten it in our large village. Bad, dry, long lasting coughs for the elderly and diabetics. Unfortunately it seems 90% of our village is diabetic. Plenty of elderly. Our family seemed almost completely fine after 10 days. We've all been vaccinated with Pfeizer or Moderna.
  11. Don't forget to add 5 to Sakon Nakhon. Our entire family got COVID Las week. We didn't report but just quarantined at home. Didn't want to be carted of and fleeced at some dodgy government quarantine. The entire village has it or has gotten it. As in all of Thailand not many report it.
  12. I always drag my wife into the TRUE store in one of the big malls. I ended cutting my phone bill and WiFi at home in half. I don't get very far by myself. I'm not very patient and my Thai is horrible.
  13. If possible going there in person with someone who speaks Thai will avail you to the best packages. I routinely change because there's always cheaper packages. If you don't ask they won't tell you. It's all very confusing.
  14. "Thailand to Implement 300-Baht Fee for Foreign Arrivals" There goes half your high rolling Indian tourists.
  15. Definitely suspicious. Someone is pushing hard for this vape. Other side is playing hard to get a piece of the action. It'll pass and all the kids will have shiny new vape pipes easily available in a multitude of flavors like Mango, Durian,etc. Sad.
  16. Definitely a good idea. I ruined my power washer by not using the little attachment.
  17. "Fill the bottle one-third full, add a few drops of pure liquid soap and shake vigorously for a few seconds. If there is a distinct lack of fluffy bubbles and the water appears cloudy and/or milky, your water is hard." https://homewater101.com/articles/easy-ways-to-test-water#:~:text=Fill the bottle one-third,milky%2C your water is hard.
  18. Educated masses could prove dangerous.
  19. No money (Big) in education. He's indebted to the army and Thai police for his job. I think its that way in most South East Asian countries not just here.
  20. "Is a prepaid envelope valid to post from Thailand?" No. You'll need to pay extra at the post office and you'll want a tracking number. It's still fairly cheap.
  21. I think thats just Soi Bhukows draw. It's fun and full of life. You don't want it to look like the Prime Ministers blunderous Khaosan Rd. Makeover. Always complaining: Not enough tourists and traffic. Too much Tourists and traffic.
  22. There was an article in a prominent Bangkok paper quoting that the "Health Ministry" has no plans to import any more vaccines as it has plenty. (100 million) I think there wanting to implement Thier own home made vaccines. That usually involves lots of money changing hands at the expense of the average Thai. Whatever they choose to do you can rest assured it will be a mess.
  23. Would you want your son to be a priest? That would be the worst. Ugh.
  24. Just because you think its wrong definitely doesn't mean squat. Prostitution, the oldest profession in the world, should be legalized worldwide. Conservative righteousnos should be outlawed IMOP.
